First day of school 2011

Today was Landon and Danica's first day of school.  Landon started middle school.  Different school and a totally new experience.  I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack sending him.  He was a little nervous, but mostly excited for this new experience.  I told him he looked handsome this morning on his way out and thought to myself, when did did he grow up so big.  Happened overnight, I swear.  Anyways, here is the first day of school picture of my boy.

Danica started fourth grade today.  Not as much anxiety about that one.  She had her outfit picked, accessories bought, and backpacked packed, all ready to have a fabulous year.  I am way excited about the teacher she is getting, and she is excited about the friends who are going to be in her class.

Funny story about the classroom picture.  Danica was a little less than thrilled I was going to take her pic in class. So I tell her to smile and hit the timer button on my camera on accident.   I had to wait while the camera was beeping to take her picture.  By the time I left, I was laughing so hard people were thinking I was having an episode or something.  I got the pic though.  Sorry Danica, that your mom is soooooo embarrassing!

Good first day of school. Quiet house though.  Oh well, I think I'll get over it!
